LETTER MCCCLXXXII.

_To Mr. R―――― K――――n._

_Bristol, December 16, 1767._

_My dear Friend_,

WE have been favoured with golden seasons here. I have been enabled

to preach thrice, and to administer the holy sacrament. Thousands

went away on _Sunday_, because they could not come in. The word hath

been attended with great power. Grace! grace! What a pity that we

cannot stay a week or two longer! But I must away to _Bath_ to preach

to-morrow, and the next Lord’s-day. Shall write, GOD willing, to Mr.

_S――――s_ by _Saturday_’s post, to tell _Rose_ where to meet me with the

chaise. We come in the two days post-coach. Mr. _A――――s_ is come hither

to see me. I thought to have brought him up with me, but the coach was

full. Is it true, that Mr. _J――――ss_ hath two careful comforts at once?

I wish him much joy. Pray tell my wife, that I intend doing myself

the pleasure of dining at Tabernacle-house next _Wednesday_. Ere long

we shall sit down and eat bread in the kingdom of heaven. _Hallelujah!

hallelujah!_ Come, LORD, come. Hearty love to all. Continue to pray for,

my dear friend,

Yours and dear Mr. _H――――y_’s, &c. &c.

_G. W._
